Effectiveness evaluation. 1. The Conference of the Parties shall evaluate the effectiveness of this Convention, beginning no later than six years after the date of entry into force of the Convention and periodically thereafter at intervals to be decided by it.
Effectiveness evaluation. The protocols must articulate that the requesting organization will monitor and evaluate regularly the effectiveness and value of controlled equipment to determine whether continued deployment and use is warranted on operational, tactical, and technical grounds. Requesting organizations should review after-action reports routinely and analyze any data on, for example, how often controlled equipment is used or whether controlled equipment is used more frequently in certain law enforcement operation or in particular locations or neighborhoods.
Effectiveness evaluation. Figure 4.6 compares the quality of the composite service from traditional auctions (with zero complementarity of the component services CASS is equivalent to traditional single-item auctions) and CASS with different degrees of complementarity assigned to the combinations of component services. The results demonstrate that the traditional auctions yielded the worst quality of the composite service. And the quality of the composite service gets better as the degree of complementarity increases. Specific increments are presented in Table 4.3. Price ($) Degree of Complementarity Large Medium Small Zero 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 250 Bidders 25 Bidders 100 Bidders (a) Execution time (b) Price Figure 4.6 Comparison of the quality of the composite service achieved from traditional auction and CASS5 5 Since price and execution time are both negative QoS properties, decreased prices and execution times imply increments of auction revenues. Table 4.3 Increment of quality of the composite service Small Medium Large 25 18.6% 29.1% 42.5% 100 31.0% 42.0% 54.7% 250 38.5% 47.4% 62.5% Number of Bidders Degree of Complementarity We observe that as the degree of complementarity increases, the increment in the quality of the composite service increases. The reason is that the maximum discounts the bidders were capable of offering increase as the degree of complementarity increases. We also observe that an auction involving a larger number of bidders yields better quality of the composite service. This demonstrates that XXXX facilitates effective SLA negotiation through capturing the basic economic theory: the more sellers there are, the more likely it is that the buyer will be able to obtain a favourable price.
Effectiveness evaluation. Data Analysis: compare test & control; compare self reported chanages • Measure understanding & adoption of the targeted behaviors
Effectiveness evaluation o Analyze and Synthesize Survey Results – OCI will collect/manage/analyze the data according to the procedures outlined in the Ecology approved QAPP. This is expected to include: ▪ Responses to survey questions will be compiled following the data management procedures outlined in the QAPP ▪ Verify the results and evaluate the usability of the data following the data verification and data usability procedures defined in the QAPP ▪ Analyze the data according to the data analysis methods outlined in the QAPP ▪ Synthesize the results into tables and figures ▪ For this subtask we have budgeted 30-hours.
